About

Mexican RestaurantCatererChicken RestaurantFast Food Restaurant
While some things have changed over the last few decades, El Pollo Loco's delivery of fresh, authentic food has not. Everything starts with whole chickens that are slowly marinated in a special recipe of herbs, spices, fruit juices and garlic. The chicken is then expertly fire-grilled to perfection the authentic way - on our signature open-flame grills - then hand cut into your favorite Mexican entrees. We put that same dedication and care into our handmade guacamole, salsas and dressings every day. At El Pollo Loco in Fresno,CA, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.

    My first time trying this establishment and it wasn't disappointing. I enjoyed the crunchy chicken taco and the queso was very tasty. I look forward to my next visit. Also I wanna thank the general manager, she was extremely nice and helpful. To often I find service jobs occupied by individuals who dont like interacting with people. This was not the case here, I didn't get her name but Great job!

    Good service, kind clerk and fast to prepare the food. The inside of the restaurant need a bit of love. The WC were really dirty even if it’s locked by a code that you need to obtain from an employee. The corn and chicken bol was a bit too fatty for my liking. In brief, okay experience
